	Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the podcast of the Load Seaters for Monday, the 11th of January 2021.
	I'm joined by Callum, and we're going to be talking about the civil war that appears to be upon us.
	Things are not going very well in the United States, so I guess before we get into everything, I will recommend going to loadseaters.com, where we will have...
	A very detailed article about the deplatforming of Donald Trump and presumably Parler and other things.
	We couldn't get it quite in time for the podcast, but it'll be there very shortly afterwards.
	The thing that we're aiming for with our coverage of this on Lotuses.com, we are going to have lots of coverage of what's going on.
	We already do.
	The thing we're aiming for is to try and account for the things that otherwise won't be accounted for in the mainstream narrative.
	We're trying to make sure we've got all the information we think you might need when arguing the case on these things.
	So anyway, let's just jump into what I think it can be like in some kind of digital reign of terror.
	I think the United States is very, at the moment, going through a very, very compressed version of the French Revolution, where in pre-internet days these things took months or years to arrange and to come to fruition.
	We're seeing these events compressed down to a very short space of time because Twitter accelerates everything.
	And so I guess we'll just talk about Donald Trump being deplatformed from the internet.
	The President of the United States has been cancelled.
	So are there any people out there who'd like to say cancelled culture doesn't exist?
	I mean, I think we've got the apex example that cannot be denied.
	I mean, you've got...
	And it was just totally incited.
	Obama called for Trump to be permanently banned from the internet, basically.
	Now is the time for Silicon Valley companies to stop enabling this monstrous behaviour and to go even further than they have already by permanently banning this man from their platforms and putting in place policies to prevent their technology from being used by the nation's leaders to fuel insurrection.
	Thanks for helping to calm the atmosphere down, Michelle.
	Then you've got, next one, leftist activists who just, like, you know, this is The Verge, but this is just one of many different articles saying, oh, it's time to deplatform Trump.
	He incited a right against Congress, blah, blah, blah.
	I'm not going to...
	I don't really agree with their framing on what happened at the Capitol.
	We covered it last week.
	We're not going to go rehash it here.
	So Trump was banned from everywhere.
	And Axios has done a complete list of all the platforms.
	Can we just scroll down there?
	Because I didn't bother getting them all.
	Reddit, Twitch, Snapchat, in addition to all of the others.
	Shopify, Twitter, obviously.
	Google, completely.
	YouTube.
	I think Trump's YouTube channel was still up the last time I checked, actually.
	But if...
	I assume any new videos have been deleted.
	Yeah, I assume so.
	But so yeah, if we can keep going, like Facebook, Instagram, yeah, Snapchat.
	Snapchat.
	TikTok.
	Like Apple, obviously.
	Discord.
	So now Trump can't get in our Discord server.
	Gutted.
	Pinterest.
	But is this just him, or is this his entire team?
	Well, his online presence as real Donald Trump, like him...
	As well as his campaign teams, his merch stores, all of it.
	He's just been erased from the internet.
	He's getting the Alex Jones treatment.
	Anything that was part of the campaign.
	Yeah, just waxed.
	And that's in addition to, I think it's probably dozens of high-profile conservative activists, like Dan Bongino, Lin Wood, whether you agree with them or not, it doesn't matter.
	General Flynn.
	General Flynn.
	They're all being erased from the Silicon Valley platforms.
	And when Trump tried to tweet from the President of the United States account, now this is an official government account.
	It is not owned by Trump.
	It is owned by the official government.
	But this is for the President, the office of the President.
	Trump tries to tweet about Twitter censorship and how, you know, the gift of 230, Section 230 is allowing them to do this, etc., etc.
	And that gets censored.
	The President of the United States is censored for objecting to censorship by Twitter.
	I mean, this is crazy.
	This is the amount of power that Silicon Valley have revealed themselves to have.
	And we knew that they had it.
	You know, they control the platforms, so technically everything is at their pleasure.
	But the fact that they would go and do it, it's like they think there won't be consequences for this, and there are going to be huge consequences for this.
	Like, the Republicans, every Republican at this point should be sitting there thinking, right, okay, nobody's safe.
	Nobody is safe, and they hate us.
	Because they do.
	They hate Trump, and they hate his supporters, the MAGA movement, and they will expunge them to the best of their ability.
	Trump got cancelled in real time in Tucker Carlson's segment, and it's funny just watching Tucker react to the fact that the tweet that he was reading out was deleted as he was reading it.
	It's madness.
	Naturally, the revolution, the reign of terror, doesn't end with the execution of the king, as the Atlantic has posted.
	Trump's banned.
	Who's next?
	Oh, well, who is next?
	The byline.
	Tech giants must not treat their crackdown on the president's social accounts as an edge case.
	The social web should be different now.
	What an absolute delusional position to hold.
	And this comes from an ideology as well, right?
	They lay out in this.
	One of the quotes from this, it was a Friday night massacre of platform bans.
	They're positively reveling in what is a digital execution, like the extermination of Trump from the internet.
	And again, the elected president.
	They have taken it upon themselves to say, actually, we decide that the president doesn't get to speak to the public.
	We get to be the editors, the authors of that decision.
	And that's wrong.
	I mean, that's completely against the spirit of Section 230.
	The fact that they can still do this and claim to be platforms and not publishers is maddening to me.
	But even if we take them at their word for a second, their word is that, oh, well, he incited violence, therefore we're stopping him from inciting further violence up to the election.
	That is just factually untrue.
	Like, we saw the things he tweeted, we saw the things he posted in his videos.
	Factually, what he said was, go home, don't commit violence, be peaceful, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Any one of those posts from any one of those platforms.
	That didn't matter.
	Twitter removed them.
	Facebook removed them.
	So how are people even going to know what he said?
	So there is no defense here, because if you're thinking as a conservative, I don't know, MP or something like this, oh, they'll never come for me.
	Literally, you can say one thing, and they will say that you said the other and ban you.
	There is no defense.
	And I read through Twitter's reasoning on it, and Twitter's reasoning...
	I wish I'd got it up in advance for this, but to be honest with you, we've got too much to go through.
	Twitter's reasoning was just openly bad faith.
	We are interpreting this to mean violence.
	We are interpreting that to mean violence.
	But that's not what a reasonable person would take from this.
	But that's where we are.
	Please go home.
	Don't commit violence.
	We're interpreting that as violence.
	Yeah, that's not a call for violence.
	That's ridiculous.
	But anyway, so in this article, and this is very interesting, they give us what they call the realist take.
	And the realist take is, rather than the idealist take, where they've got the fig leaves of, oh, we're doing this for high-minded reasons, the realist take is that we should consider these as arbitrary and sudden convenient decisions made possible by a changed political landscape and new business imperatives.
	As they say, in two weeks Trump will be out of power, but the platforms won't be.
	And therefore, the leftists want more deplatforming, because they think the platforms are still going to be there, and the legacy of Trump will still be on these platforms, and therefore, we should force them to give up their fig leaf rationales and deplatform even more people.
	And at the end of this article, there's a very interesting bit.
	Banning Trump should not be seen as the end of an era.
	It needs to be the start of a new one, and we should not give up on the myth of content moderation that depicts a better future.
	What a weird way of looking at the world.
	Because I think that the removal of a person's ability to express themselves and put their opinion across is what makes them essentially radicalise.
	And so I think that what they're doing, and I love the way that they admit this is a myth, the myth of content moderation that depicts a better future.
	Yeah, it's a myth.
	And what they link to is an article on their site called The Facebook is a Doomsday Machine.
	And it's really weird that they link this article, because this article actually totally debunks what the proposition in the previous one is, that we can use content moderation to depict a better future.
	Because this one summarizes, like...
	It lays out the problem well and advises getting off these platforms altogether.
	It's not content moderation that can create a better reality.
	Andrew Bosworth, one of Facebook's longtime executives, has compared Facebook to sugar in that it's delicious but best enjoyed in moderation.
	In a memo originally posted to Facebook's internal network last year, he argued for a philosophy of personal responsibility – Anyone who's serious about mitigating the damage done to humankind by social web should, of course, consider quitting Facebook and Instagram and Twitter and any other algorithmically distorted informational environments that manipulate people.
	They're not saying we should have a well-moderated web and that will solve all problems and there will be no more insurrections generated by social media.
	What they're saying is get off social media because it's damaging your brain and it's an addictive substance and you shouldn't be using it.
	So, like, this myth that he appeals to, yeah, it's just a myth.
	But anyway, in the spirit of following the myth of content moderation, as in censorship, being a way of creating a brave new world, Parler has been completely deplatformed.
	Now, if you go to parler.com right now, it's down.
	So this is the mass digital execution and purging of parler.com, and it's because of political reasons.
	So, BuzzFeed framed this like...
	They just framed this like this.
	People on Parler used the social network to stoke fear, spread hate, and coordinate the insurrection at the Capitol building on Wednesday.
	Don't agree it was an insurrection.
	And stoking fear, hate, and various other conspiracy theories and all that, as if that doesn't happen on Twitter.
	As if Twitter isn't...
	They're constantly trending topics are Jews, Nazi, Trump, you know, all of these radical things.
	And...
	The Babylon Bee posted a screenshot of Twitter's trending topics to Instagram, and that was censored by Instagram for being too radical.
	There we go.
	Twitter is one of the driving forces of this.
	But anyway, the app has recently been overrun by death threats, celebrations of violence, and posts encouraging patriots to march on Washington with weapons on January 19th, the day before the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.
	On Friday, Apple gave Parler 24 hours to mitigate the planning of illegal and dangerous activities on its service or face serious expulsion.
	And then the next day, they said this...
	The trust and safety team for the Apple web service told Parler, told their chief policy officer Amy Peekoff that calls for violence propagating across the social network have violated its terms of service.
	Recently we've seen a steady increase in the violent content on your website, all of which violates our terms.
	But none of that applies to Twitter apparently.
	None of this applies to Twitter.
	It's only one way as usual.
	They say, Well, I don't agree it's the platform's fault either.
	That's the point of it being a platform, in fact.
	The people using it are the ones responsible for the content they post to it.
	But anyway, so they go through this and they say that we're going to terminate your web service.
	They provide the technology and customers, blah, blah.
	So since they say Parler cannot comply with our terms of service and poses a very real risk to public safety, we plan to suspend their account.
	So this effectively is a way of saying to Parler, look, we don't actually care what you do.
	This has reduced it to a median dialogue.
	Where it's just, we have the power here, and you don't have the power.
	And so the Athenians have turned up with 5,000 men, and the 300 millions who are on this island are like, well, okay, we'll appeal to the various extraneous factors, we'll appeal to morality, but at the end of the day, it's the person with the sword that has the power, and that's what Amazon is saying here.
	And it's...
	Pretty scary, to be honest, because this is where everyone is going.
	Like, there have been loads and loads and loads of conservatives in the platform from everywhere.
	Nobody is safe.
	We're not safe.
	If you'd like to support us and make sure that we have a job, you can go to lotuses.com and become a premium member.
	We've got loads of great premium content.
	Scary as these times are, though.
	This was John Matz's response.
	He says, Amazon will be shutting off our servers in the attempt...
	Again, I can't show you the...
	I've got to get a low-quality screenshot, because obviously Parler has just been deleted.
	But look at the number of people who have seen this.
	24 million people saw this post before Parler was taken down.
	This is enormous.
	This is a massive, massive event.
	Amazon will be shutting off our servers.
	There's a possibility Parler will be unavailable on the internet for up to a week as we rebuild by scratch.
	We're prepared for events for this by never relying on Amazon's proprietary infrastructure and building bare-knuckle products.
	We'll try our best to move to a new provider as we have many competing for our business.
	However, Amazon, Google and Apple purposely did this as a coordinated effort, knowing our options would be limited and knowing this would inflict the most damage right as President Trump is banned from these tech companies.
	This was a coordinated attack by the tech giants to kill competition in the marketplace.
	We were too successful too fast.
	You can expect the war on competition and free speech to continue, but don't count us out.
	That's totally true.
	And after trying to get their website back up, they went on Fox News.
	and can we play a clip? - They all work together to make sure at the same time we would lose access to not only our apps, but they're actually shutting all of our servers off tonight off but they're actually shutting all of our servers off tonight off the So they made an attempt to not only kill the apps, but to actually destroy the entire company.
	And it's not just these three companies.
	Every vendor from text message services to email providers to our lawyers all Ditched us, too, on the same day.
	And we're going to try our best, you know, to get back online as quickly as possible, but we're having a lot of trouble because every vendor we talk to, you know, says they won't work with us because if Apple doesn't approve and Google doesn't approve, you know, they won't.
	Amazon is the largest cloud storage vendor in the world, and we use them to host our servers, you know, hundreds of them, hundreds of servers.
	And they gave us basically, they said, you have 24 hours to get all of your data and to find new servers.
	So, you know, where are you going to find 300 to 500 servers in a 24-hour window, and how can you send all of the data from everybody out to them in a 24-hour period?
	It's an impossible feat that, you know, we're going to handle as best we can to get back online as quickly as possible.
	But, you know, there's just some things that are almost basically impossible.
	Right, so they're effectively trying to destroy Parler as a company.
	This is cartel behaviour.
	This is exactly what a cartel is, and this is exactly what the antitrust laws in the US are for.
	And they're currently in the process of going through an antitrust lawsuit.
	So it's actually quite shocking that they would be like, yeah, in the face of all of this, we're going to openly act as a cartel and deplatform the direct competition to Twitter.
	There's a reason this is such a mask-off moment, because you remember up till the election of Joe Biden, it's always been, oh, we've got an excuse for this, excuse that.
	And the dissidents have always been warning, no, no, this is just front for what they will do when they have power.
	And now they have their man in office, and they've got the House and the Senate.
	You can see it.
	And I wanted to play this clip, which is just them in a hearing before the election took place.
	And you can see how everything's just become true.
	Yeah.
	Can you assure us today you're not going to try to silence conservatives?
	And can you assure us today you're not going to try to configure your features as Ms.
	Murillo said you did for Clinton in 2016?
	Can you assure us today you're not going to do the same thing for Joe Biden in 2020?
	You know, you have my commitment.
	It's always been true and we'll continue to conduct ourselves in a neutral way.
	Appreciate it.
	You'll be back.
	The chair now recognizes a gentlelady from Pennsylvania, Ms.
	Scanlon.
	Thank you, gentlemen.
	I'd like to redirect your attention to antitrust law rather than fringe conspiracy theories.
	Mr.
	Bezos, our investigation...
	Mr.
	Chairman, we have the email.
	There is no...
	Excuse me.
	It's not your time.
	You do not have the time.
	Please be respectful of your colleagues.
	She controls the time.
	Put your mask on.
	Put your mask on.
	Yeah, you can see that this has been the atmosphere for a while.
	The occasional Republican will speak about this, and he's engaging in a conspiracy theory.
	It's like, right, all of this is now under the bridge.
	That's the one silver lining I get from this, which is it's the accelerated process of not everyone can see.
	No, they are partisan actors, and they are willing to act in a partisan way.
	In a coordinated way, in order to do as much damage as they can.
	With each other.
	And against rival companies.
	Again, these are all illegal actions that have been taken by Silicon Valley.
	And they've been taken out in the open.
	And it's amazing that they don't think that there's going to be a reckoning for this.
	I would be worried about the lawsuits.
	You would think there would be massive lawsuits that would be incoming.
	And I assume that they think that Joe Biden is just going to protect them from these.
	I assume that they think that Joe Biden is going to be able to mitigate these things somehow, although the establishment itself that they're weaponizing, that they're a part of, is going to just turn the other way.
	They paid good money for that exactly to happen.
	Well, yes, exactly.
	Anyway, so we'll get to Jack Smirk.
	Jack Smirk, because Parler, obviously, after the deplatforming of the president, went to number one in the app charts, and everyone was waiting for Trump to open his Parler account.
	And I guess that's one of the reasons that they decided to de-platform.
	And so here is Jack posting a picture of the Apple charts.
	And Signal is the top app.
	Now, it's interesting the way he's cropped that.
	So it could be that he's saying heart signal because both he and Elon Musk had tweeted out use signal because apparently it's very good at encryption.
	I don't know whether to point this out now, but the interesting thing with this is that Jack has actually won both ways.
	Because the little heart saying, you know, heart this...
	I mean, it can look like Jack's smirk at the fact that his primary competitor has just been destroyed by the establishment upon which he is a part.
	But there is also another way to look at this, as Jack, again, winning like a snake...
	Because Signal, the encryption code behind it, was developed by a Matthew Rosenfeld, a.k.a.
	Moxie Marlinspike.
	And he was the co-founder of Whisper Systems, and he's the current owner of the Signal Foundation.
	And Whisper Systems was purchased in 2011 by Twitter.
	He then left in 2013 to set up Open Whisper Systems, which developed in Signal.
	And the fact that Jack is promoting Signal, and obviously very thrilled that it's the top of the charts...
	It implies that there is still a very close relationship between the two, and I think that's a fair assumption.
	So either way, not just in the way of Jack being a playground bully who destroyed his opponents in an illegitimate manner, he's also one of the primary beneficiaries of the results of this.
	In another way.
	So it's just like...
	It's terrifying.
	And Jack promoted Signal during the Black Lives Matter protests as a way of communicating.
	Again, during...
	The destruction of hundreds of millions of dollars of property and the murder of American citizens, including police.
	Jack's promoting Signal as a privacy-centric app because he wants to allow them to communicate without the government being able to spy on them.
	It's just all these mask-off moments.
	It's crazy.
	This also got money from a chap called...
	One of the co-founders of Signal is a guy called Brian Acton who left Facebook.
	So it's weird how it kind of looks like the sort of European royalty of Silicon Valley, like the royal houses where the people marry into the different families and then their descendants.
	So it's very much like that sort of complex web in Silicon Valley.
	Like, it's the different families that run Silicon Valley, and therefore run the internet narratives.
	Yes.
	So you've got, like, the house Apple, house Twitter.
	Yeah, the house of Facebook, the house of Twitter, and exactly, these people move between them, but they're a class, they're a big club, and you ain't in it.
	Yeah.
	And it's not like these people care about violence either.
	We didn't have time to put it up, but there's a thing in which Not the Bee was going around, where Colin Kaepernick had put out a tweet and he was saying, you know, we need a revolution, we need people on the streets.
	And you can interpret it either way, but it looks like he's calling for violence.
	And during the violence of the BLM riots.
	Yeah.
	And if a Trump supporter had tweeted that right now, they'd be gone in a second.
	And the response from Jack Dorsey was to give him $3 million in donations from himself.
	Yeah.
	It's like, right, so this person doesn't care about violence.
	In fact, he's willing to help it out, as you've shown with Signal.
	It's partisan.
	By the way, people sending superchats, right, we're getting too much time is being required for these, so please be aware that we probably won't get to all of the superchats.
	So if you send us a superchat, we'll try and read what we can, but we're on a time limit, unfortunately.
	And there's too much to go through.
	So let's crack on, in fact.
	So the left is radicalising against the MAGA movement, and it's insane.
	Like, it's the most irresponsible thing that's happening.
	The way that people...
	And again, if these were just random Twitter accounts, then sure, I'd be like, okay, well, there's a radical fringe of the left-wing movement, and they are psychotic, but it's just the radical fringe.
	If the mainstream talking heads are not saying anything crazy...
	This was your opinion in 2015, it was radical fringe, and now it's the mainstream Democrats.
	Oh yeah, and totally, totally, and they've gone completely off the rails.
	Can we play the first clip from Jake Tapper?
	Because this is mad.
	CNN anchor?
	Yeah.
	42-year-old Capitol Hill police officer Brian Sicknick was killed this week when that manic Trump-supporting mob, whipped into a frenzy by President Trump, his allies and their election lies, staged a domestic terror attack on the U.S. Capitol.
	I mean, that's not calming things down, is it?
	I mean, I don't think that's an accurate representation of anything.
	It's such a neutral framing from a platform that claims to be neutral as well.
	Exactly.
	I mean, this is invective.
	The words that he's using are designed to evoke certain kind of imagery and feelings in the people hearing them in order to make them agree with one position and not another.
	He would never have said something like that about Black Lives Matter, even though that's actually true about Black Lives Matter.
	Like, the way that the left has stoked up Black Lives Matter and caused the damage and the deaths that it caused, Trump was actually not that extreme, in my opinion.
	I mean, you could, in an uncharitable interpretation of what Trump's speech was, say that, yeah, he was riding people up, but that would have to be an uncharitable explanation.
	And the charitable one could be, well, Trump wanted to just go and peacefully protest outside the Capitol.
	That's also a fair reading.
	He did explicitly say, be peaceful.
	Well, he did, yeah, yeah.
	Sorry.
	Even a neutral interpretation would be that.
	Exactly.
	But Jake Tapper is giving the most radical interpretation.
	And again, this is not just the CNN anchor.
	Now we have the former governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, comparing them to Nazis.
	As the New York Times report, in a video that quickly drew millions of views, Schwarzenegger compared the riot at the Capitol last week to Kristallnacht.
	A rampage in Germany in 1938 which Nazi-inspired mobs burned synagogues and destroyed Jewish-owned shops.
	That's nothing like it.
	A, whose private property was damaged?
	Nobody's.
	Back in June, though, Black Lives Matter was rampaging through Washington, D.C., burning shops, destroying property.
	So, I'm sorry, what are you talking about?
	This isn't to say it's good either.
	Andrew Cuomo is about to put the Jews in camps for being COVID victims.
	And Trump supporters and the Nazis, are they?
	Unreal.
	Unreal.
	I just wanted to get in there to say, you know, just to say explicitly, it's also not to say that what happened on Capitol Hill was good.
	Yes, he attacked a government building.
	A police officer has died.
	Yes.
	But you can see the framing there.
	Like, compare that to the framing of what?
	Like, 19 people dead, I think three of them police officers over the riots in Black Lives Matter.
	Let's go back to 2015 where that guy shot eight cops in Dallas.
	Black Lives Matter.
	No, there's no framing like that.
	No one ever wants to treat them in the same way they're treating this event.
	This event is like 9-11-2.0.
	Black lives matter killing people.
	Peaceful protests.
	Yeah.
	It's insane.
	It's absolutely insane.
	Then we get AOCs.
	Very moderate take.
	Very responsible.
	She's definitely got the interests of the Republic at heart when she says this.
	If we can play it.
	So, I know you're a supporter of impeachment.
	The Speaker has not yet decided whether she's going to schedule it.
	Should she schedule it?
	Will it pass?
	Well, you know, I absolutely believe that impeachment should be scheduled for several reasons.
	One, of course, our main priority is to ensure the removal of Donald Trump as president of the United States.
	Every minute and every hour that he is in office represents a clear and present danger, not just to the United States Congress, but frankly, to the country.
	But in addition to removal, we're also talking about complete barring of the president or rather of Donald Trump From running for office ever again.
	And in addition to that, the potential ability to prevent pardoning himself from those charges that he was impeached for.
	So a total salting of the earth when it comes to Trump.
	And she's trying to override presidential authorities there.
	I mean, constitutionally, he has the power to pardon.
	Yeah.
	It's not just AOC. Like, AOC, people think of as this fringe senator.
	No, no.
	It's the squad.
	It's all of her supporters.
	Well, Kamala Harris.
	Yeah, well, we'll get to, yeah.
	Kamala Harris, who's just like, we witnessed two systems of justice when we saw that one extremist storm in the United States Capitol and another released tear gas on peaceful protesters last summer.
	We know this is unacceptable.
	We know we should be better than this.
	It's like, this is just the inverse of reality.
	I mean, A, the Trump supporters got tear gassed as well.
	I mean, you could make the argument that the cops did let the extremists storm, therefore it's not much of a storm.
	In fact, the fact that they were staying between the velvet ropes and things like that and didn't do any significant property damage kind of made it look like it was a jaunty tourist outing, frankly.
	But the idea that the protests last summer were peaceful...
	It's madness.
	It's just madness.
	What clown world are you living in?
	Yeah.
	She's in an opposite reality of lies that she thinks this...
	Like James Lindsay calls it pseudo-reality.
	And that's what it is.
	It's a reality made up of narrative points that just don't reflect the facts on the ground.
	And so, like, twisting things into lies, and then you get the topping on the cake is Joe Biden's reaction to this.
	Now, before I start, I just want to say, like, if you were confident about your position, and if you were legitimate, and you felt that you could prove that you had legitimately won this election, there were no problems, you would take this as...
	In stride.
	You would be more moderate about it because you understand that half of your country is ready to go up.
	It's really crazy.
	And this was Joe Biden's response instead.
	Yes, they should be treated as they're a bunch of thugs, insurrectionists, white supremacists, anti-Semites.
	6N is not enough.
	I mean, come on.
	You know, these shirts they're wearing?
	These are a bunch of thugs.
	Thugs.
	And they're terrorists, domestic terrorists.
	So they're terrorists, white supremacists, and anti-Semites.
	Six million ends or something?
	I don't even want to think about it.
	We probably aren't allowed to speculate on what he means there.
	I don't even think Joe Biden knows what he means.
	No.
	It's just not a senior moment.
	Doubtless.
	But like, I mean, the talk of unity has disappeared.
	We should all come together now and accept Joe Biden as president.
	Except for the people he's going to persecute.
	The response is not to calm things down or any kind of unifying speeches.
	It's to double down and side with AOC's position, which is obviously the most radical.
	That we don't live as two factions who have to live together in this country.
	It's no, we're one faction and we are going to destroy you.
	Yes.
	It's openly we're going to destroy you.
	And this is just part of the radicalisation.
	Now, I'm convinced that if this is following the patterns of the French Revolution, then what we're about to see as the Democrats consolidate their power, and they are consolidating power right now, We're good to go.
	Is a strain of paranoia that's going to rush through.
	And it will be regarding white supremacists.
	And you can already see how...
	This is a reporter for ABC News who's saying the House should immediately subpoena the President's phone records.
	He was calling people during the Capitol insurrection and then tried to continue to delay the election certification.
	Who else did he call?
	Rudy calls too.
	So this paranoid witch hunt is going to go on.
	And there's going to be rumours of white supremacists because these are already words they're using.
	Do they think he's calling Baked Alaska or something?
	What do you mean?
	Trump's like, well, I tried to call Pelosi's office, but the line's engaged.
	Yeah, no, it's madness.
	It's madness.
	And they're going to get paranoid and they're going to descend into a kind of purity spiral.
	That will end up with the revolution eating their own.
	But it's not just the media and Trump and the media and Biden and the politicians.
	I put Schwarzenegger in there because he was a politician.
	It's also private companies.
	I mean, here is the executive moral authority of Ben and Jerry's.
	To weigh in.
	The ice cream merchants have weighed in to let us know that yesterday was not a protest.
	It was a riot to uphold white supremacy.
	Thanks, Ben and Jerry's.
	Thank you so much for using your platform to further stoke this kind of racial division.
	That's what we want, right?
	This is their thesis.
	It was allowed to happen.
	The mostly white insurrectionists, as if this is a character flaw against them, roamed freely and without consequence through the heart of our democracy.
	The only explanation is that this was allowed to happen because there were white, not black, brown, or indigenous people.
	That's the only explanation, is it?
	That's the only explanation.
	Thanks, Ben and Jerry's.
	It shows you exactly how you think.
	When you say the only explanation is this, what you're saying is we can only see this.
	The white mob?
	It's just the white mob.
	It's a racial mob to Ben and Jerry's.
	This is mad.
	This is mad.
	Made its way to the Diocese of the US House of Representatives and the Senate, literally sitting in the chair that the Vice President had been in minutes before, is the ultimate embodiment of white privilege.
	We saw two Americas yesterday.
	In one America, we saw record voter turnout driven by black voters that resulted in the election of the first black and first Jewish senators from the state of Georgia.
	Our democracy at its best.
	In the second America, we saw a mostly white mob encouraged by the president violently invade the seat of our democracy and attempt to overturn a free and fair election.
	It was a failed coup.
	Our democracy in peril.
	Both of these Americas are us.
	Black and brown people have long understood this since they've been exposed to the white tyranny that was on full display at yesterday's riot since the founding of our nation.
	It is the double standard that undergirds white supremacy in our nation.
	Both of these Americas are us.
	How we respond to the events of yesterday will determine which America we will be.
	Resign, impeach, 25th Amendment, not one more day.
	Yeah, okay, thank you, ice cream manufacturer.
	That's good input, but shut the...
	How racial do you want to get?
	It's insane.
	I remember back in 2012, when this was just college campuses or whatever, and it's like you would never, never expect a mainstream verified massive multimedia company to talk in these terms.
	I told everyone.
	I told everyone this was going to be everywhere.
	The white Tyranny.
	Social justice.
	I warned them.
	I warned everyone.
	Every step of the way that social justice was going to control the thought processes of the left.
	All of it.
	And now Joe Biden's ranting about white supremacists.
	Ben and Jerry's ranting about white mobs.
	And it's like, but the white mob, as you describe it, is the one that's being targeted by the feds.
	Black Lives Matter were given money.
	They were given a pardon by the media.
	Everyone was just like, oh, well, mostly peaceful protests.
	Kamala Harris, the peaceful protests of June.
	It's like...
	Peaceful my ass, man!
	Ben and Jerry's gave them money themselves.
	They bailed people out in jail for committing criminal acts.
	They're fine.
	They've done nothing wrong.
	And can we scroll down just a little bit on that, please?
	To give a shout-out to Tailed Feature with his excellent and pithy reply.
	Silence brand.
	We don't need to hear from you.
	But then we'll just go on to the...
	If you want Racial Division, buy Ben and Jerry's.
	Yeah, exactly.
	If you want a race war, buy Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, because they want a race war too.
	Well, I'd love to see what it was like.
	The Daily Storm was going to be endorsing Baron of Jerry's by tomorrow.
	Doubtless.
	Doubtless.
	I mean, there's probably a reason that Richard Spencer voted for Biden, I guess.
	Well, he did.
	Yeah, he did.
	Yeah, he unironically.
	The white supremacists voted Biden.
	And you can see why.
	Because they frame everything in race.
	Anyway, going on, we can look at the...
	We can see into the minds of the insane Twitter activists.
	I love that on Minds.com this has been given an age limit because this is an insane series of statements that I... I didn't run these ones past our resident psychologist, which is Josh, who is qualified and master's degree in psychology.
	But I don't think you need to be an expert to be able to establish what the problem is here, right?
	So Ashley Babbitt was the woman who was shot during the Capitol protest.
	She wasn't armed.
	I don't think that she looked like a present threat to the police officer, but I'm not saying that in the circumstances there may not have been reason for him to be sufficiently afraid to discharge his weapon.
	Now, I'm not condemning anything or endorsing anything.
	I'm just saying these are the things that I believe happened.
	Arthur Chu definitely has a position on this.
	Arthur Chu is an insane radical leftist who first came to my notice because of his opposition to Gamergate.
	It's interesting how he has radicalised since that point.
	He was never a sane chap back then, but this is madness, right?
	Ashley Babbitt, feeding the worms is one of the few good things that happened as a result of the capital protest, and if you feel the need to mourn her Nazi arse, it'll be easier for both of us if you unfollow me now.
	When the bullet goes through the fatty tumour a Nazi has in the space where a human being would have a brain, nothing is lost.
	A pile of meat that moved and spoke and acted like a person was made to stop moving and thus could no longer fool people into thinking it was one of them.
	The Nazi is the opposite of a person, therefore our morality to them must be reversed.
	To hate them is to love, to harm them is to heal, to kill them is to bring life.
	You should feel less bad than you do about putting down a rabid animal.
	In that case, the rabies virus and host are separate entities.
	One was the victim of the other.
	A Nazi is the disease.
	That's sickening.
	That's genocidal rhetoric.
	I mean, that is.
	Replace Nazi with Jew and you realize you're talking to a Nazi.
	That's what a Nazi said about Jews.
	And that's what Arthur Chu is saying about MAGA supporters.
	This is insane.
	He's a verified checkmark.
	Verified on Twitter.
	I assume all of those are probably still up.
	Yeah, I assume they're still up too.
	Like, unreal.
	It's just unreal.
	And the madness of the Twitter activists has infected everything.
	This is ABC's well-respected political director, Rick Klein, giving us his take on it.
	And his take, again, genocidal, right?
	Even aside from the impeachment and 25th Amendment talk, Trump will be an ex-president in 13 days.
	The fact is that getting rid of Trump is the easy part, he wrote in his own blog.
	Cleansing the movement he commands or getting rid of what he represents to so many Americans is going to be something else.
	Now, the language of purity, again, I did run this past Josh, but he was like, well, this is pretty cut and dry, to be honest.
	When you start using the language of purity, quote, this is the justification for something awful, and what they're doing is making sure their side is exempt from any blame.
	When they say the other side needs to be cleansed, what they're implying is that our side is already clean.
	And therefore, all bad lies with the MAGA movement.
	And again, the cleansing, just, it's a terrifying frame, right?
	And then you've got Mozilla, the makers of Firefox.
	Mozilla.
	Firefox.
	Yeah, right?
	We need more, can we scroll down a bit?
	We need more than de-platforming.
	It's like, what?
	Are you asking for a firing squad?
	More than de-platforming.
	But they blame this, of course, on social media, and they've got their solutions that they list.
	Reveal who's paying for advertisements and how much they're paying on who is being targeted.
	Commit to meaningful transparency of platform algorithms so we know how and what content is being amplified to whom and with the associated impact.
	Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation.
	Work with independent researchers to facilitate in-depth studies of the platform's impact on the people in our societies and what we can do to improve things.
	So totalitarianism.
	Full-on digital totalitarianism where the people that he thinks are factual are the ones who are hurt.
	So a complete rigging of the system in every single way.
	Sorry, I'm internally surprised by just how mainstream these companies are, coming out with such radical nonsense.
	Could you imagine Intel coming out and being like, we need to cleanse the world of the demon KKK rats, or something like that.
	You'd be like, you're nuts.
	Sorry?
	I know, I'm just picking a company around and I don't really care about the company.
	But if they'd sided with the mega supporters...
	I mean, a mainstream company coming out and saying something as radical as that, you'd think, okay, you guys have gone off the rails.
	But it's everyone, every single one of them.
	Yeah, they're all insane and radical.
	And this, of course, gets to the fact that Citibank have decided that they're not going to allow contributions to Trump and the GOP members who objected.
	This is the fourth corporation to take such a step.
	Again, it's the...
	Essentially, these corporations are becoming fascist corporations without having a dictator dictate to them what to do.
	But there's an ethos, a will, that has taken hold of the left at the moment.
	They're happy to do it.
	Exactly.
	This will, this ethos that's among the left, has galvanized and unified them all to be 100% against Trump, and therefore anything they do against Trump or his supporters is justified.
	This is the precursor to genocide, and I'm not over-egging it when I say that.
	I really think this is a terrifying predicament to be in.
	I mean, you've got CNN openly attempting to remove Fox News.
	Like, this is Tuff Carson's segment where he's just mocking them.
	But they're just calling it.
	You just have to take down our competition.
	Yeah, CNN were calling up different local stations, you know, that disseminate Fox News locally.
	And they were just saying, yeah, you need to get rid of them.
	They're, you know, in support of insurrection, they're in support of MAGA, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	And luckily, the local station was just like, no, go away, it's Fox News.
	Like, luckily, they seem to be too mainstream for, I don't know, the next day, that they'll still be around for another day.
	But the precedent has been set, exactly.
	In a month's time when something else happens, or on the 20th, when it comes to the inauguration, maybe something else will happen, and then maybe, okay, now we're just...
	Fox News.
	Yeah, Fox News.
	Fox.com, just off the internet.
	Just Amazon says, we're not hosting your servers anymore, or whatever, you know.
	Yeah, exactly.
	This kind of social terror campaign is going to continue.
	This is, again, French Revolution style.
	And we can name the actors behind it.
	This is Project Lincoln, right?
	Steve Schmidt of Project Lincoln.
	Who plans to enact a brutal pressure campaign.
	And what I love about this is every time it's the Democrats wearing someone else's face as a mask.
	Lincoln was a Republican.
	Lincoln was against the Democrats.
	Lincoln was not in favour of what they were doing at all.
	But anyway, we will be running a brutal corporate pressure campaign targeting companies, trade associations, CEOs, directors and senior leadership organisations that serve as the financiers of the authoritarian movement that attacked the US Capitol.
	Oh yeah, that's the authoritarian movement.
	It's going after government.
	Revolting against government is authoritarianism, is it?
	And tyrannizing all of society down to the things that they can say, the money they can spend, the place they can go, and the privacy that they have is not authoritarian.
	Everything about the Democrats is backwards at the moment, and they are insane.
	I'm honestly worried.
	I'm honestly worried.
	And again, the fact that it's a brutal corporate press campaign.
	Well, I'm glad that brutalization is the order of the day.
	I'm glad that's the order of the day for you.
	This is what real libertarium is, guys.
	Yeah, exactly.
	This is real socialism we're getting to.
	But I wanted to play a clip because I found this.
	This was before the election.
	It's the Lincoln Project guys talking about what they're going to do and what they've done.
	And it's the reason I mention Fox News is they say they want to go after Fox News.
	So if we can...
	Do we have that one?
	Do we not have that one?
	That's not it.
	No, that's not it.
	That's not it.
	Right, okay, we don't have it, but that's what they were doing.
	Okay, well, they said, basically, we're going to go after Fox News, we're going to go after Tucker Carlson, we're going to go after Steve Bannon.
	They succeeded with Steve Bannon, that's already gone.
	And they also say they gave $1.5 million to Lindsey Graham, which out of nowhere, I was like, huh, okay, so Lindsey's on your payroll then.
	Yeah, and Lindsay, you can see that he's clearly serving two masters here as well.
	He knows what the right thing to do is, and yet he's got, obviously, ties in the way that they've brought him out.
	But the thing is, the protesters are already being rounded up.
	I mean, the first one, the hanging man, the guy who's hanging off the Capitol building, was the one, Josiah Colt, 34, who says he sincerely apologizes to the American people.
	I recognize my actions have brought shame upon myself, and I beg forgiveness.
	So total submission after the FBI came and rounded them up.
	And they're doing the same to the rest of them, obviously, because they can.
	So, yeah, this is...
	This is full-on.
	And Lindsey Graham himself warned about this.
	If we can play that clip that you just played, this was from the Kavanaugh hearings after Lindsey Graham had watched the way the Democrats had treated Kavanaugh.
	And it was just savage.
	If you wanted an FBI investigation, you could have come to us.
	What you want to do is destroy this guy's life, hold this seat open, and hope you win in 2020.
	You've said that, not me.
	You've got nothing to apologize for.
	When you see Sotomayor and Kagan, tell them that Lindsey said, oh, because I voted for them.
	I would never do to them what you've done to this guy.
	This is the most unethical sham since I've been in politics.
	And if you really wanted to know the truth, you sure as hell wouldn't have done what you've done to this guy.
	Are you a gang rapist?
	No.
	I cannot imagine what you and your family have gone through.
	Boy, y'all want power.
	God, I hope you never get it.
	Well, they've got it, Lindsay.
	They've got it.
	They're the ones in the driving seat now, and you are all going to pay for that.
	That's what they're saying.
	They're going to come for you.
	They don't have any limiting principles.
	They don't have anything that stops them from doing any of this.
	To them, this is all good, morally justified, and desirable.
	That's the terrifying thing about it.
	We're not doing too badly for time, but again, I don't know how many superchats we're going to get through at the end of this.
	But we will definitely finish with Nancy Pelosi's attempted coup.
	Yeah.
	So, everyone's been describing the Capitol, you know, protest as a coup.
	So this was Trump rallying up his guys, telling them to go take the Capitol and coup the government.
	And just before we carry on, I just want to be clear why I don't think it's a coup.
	Start with, Trump didn't say storm the building.
	He said, go there and be peaceful.
	Like, he explicitly used the words, be peaceful.
	Yeah.
	And it was clearly framed as a protest, right?
	And then when it started getting out of hand, Trump tried to talk it down, but he was censored by Silicon Valley, so he couldn't exactly message his followers.
	But more importantly, if it was a coup, why would Trump not march with them, and why weren't they armed?
	Why wouldn't he just raise some lesions?
	He's the commander-in-chief of the US military.
	But instead, the coup here seems to be that his 4D chess is, I'm going to rally up some complete randos, and then make them storm in there in the middle of the vote, and then...
	Who will be let in by the police.
	Question mark, question mark, question mark, question mark, coup.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Because, I mean, what were they going to do?
	Sit there until he's just declared president?
	Yeah, exactly.
	And the thing is, I watched a bunch of interviews with the protesters themselves.
	Nuance Bro, shout out to Nuance Bro, who personally went there and were just interviewing them.
	And they were working class Republicans.
	They didn't have a plan.
	They were like, what's going on?
	I said, oh, I don't know.
	I just came here to show support for Donald Trump.
	Like, there wasn't a plan for an insurrection.
	And you can see that by the fact that when they're wandering around inside, they're just pratting around.
	There's no like, oh, we're going to take this and then we're going to do that.
	There's nothing.
	They're just like, what do we do now?
	We're going to prank call from Pelosi's phone.
	What do you reckon's done this whole?
	I'm going to sit in the speaker's chair and wear my bullhorns.
	It's like, what the hell are you talking about?
	This is not a coup.
	No one is armed.
	They're not arresting the government.
	Trump didn't march on anything.
	You know, this is not a coup.
	It's idiots who were allowed into the building in some instances.
	So if that's a coup, it's the worst perpetrated coup in all of human history.
	Yeah.
	I'm going to wager.
	But the one Nancy Pelosi tried to pull off is one that actually is real.
	She tried to take control of the nuclear weapons of the United States, or at least get them out of the hands of the Commander-in-Chief.
	Yes.
	And, okay, I mean, that's pretty extreme.
	Like, this is not what Donald Trump was doing in response.
	He was not saying, oh, I'm going to take control of the Senate.
	I am the Senate or something like that.
	That's not what happened.
	But that's literally what Joe Biden's going to do?
	Yeah.
	This attack on our democracy has left me scarred and deformed.
	That's what I'm expecting Joe Biden to come out with at this point.
	Because Alex Jones is right.
	Alex Jones is always right.
	So this is, if we can get the first Pelosi one up, from 2017.
	So it's not like she hasn't been hyping this up for a while.
	Let's just say, okay, everything the left says about Trump is right and he needs to be deplatformed and all the rest of it.
	Okay, fine, fine.
	I'll just accept all of that for a second.
	Well, in which case, what on earth is going to happen to everyone who tweeted in 2016?
	Because the Democrats' response to 2016 was this is hijacked, the Russians have done this, and so on and so forth.
	So the first one from Nancy Pelosi is just her saying, our election was hijacked, there is no question.
	Congress has a duty to hashtag protect our democracy and hashtag follow the facts.
	So she doesn't accept that the election of Donald Trump was legitimate or it was in some way fake.
	And we need to follow the facts and then we'll find the truth.
	And their behavior through the entirety of Trump's presidency demonstrates this, that they didn't accept it.
	The Russia investigation, the impeachment, the Steele dossier, all of these other – everything they could throw at the wall, they threw.
	And they had four years of investigations and nothing came of it.
	Trump was a lot cleaner than I thought he would be, frankly.
	I expected them to dig up something on Trump.
	But it turns out that Trump was actually, relatively speaking, a bloody angel by comparison.
	It's mad, actually.
	Especially when you consider what Joe Biden's been taking from various actors.
	But we won't get into that here.
	Just two stacks.
	Two stacks Biden.
	That's what we've got them.
	I mean, just to say personally, I'm not actually convinced of the idea that this election has been completely stolen or anything like this.
	But what someone who is sympathetic can definitely say is that there's enough sus things that need to be investigated, and therefore they should have their day in court, they should have their investigation, all the rest of it.
	That's what they had.
	They had the Russia investigation.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Nothing came of it.
	And if they did that now, if Joe came out and did that and then there was nothing came of it, he could explain every single anomaly.
	Fine, okay, then everyone can move on.
	But that's not going to happen.
	He can explain the Republican poll watchers being barricaded out of the Detroit Polling Center and then blocking up the windows.
	I'd love to hear that explanation.
	I'd love to see them in court trying to say that.
	It explains me how that's illegal, you know?
	But that's the thing.
	People say there's no evidence.
	That's the line from the media, right?
	Okay, there's evidence.
	There's video evidence of this or that thing, right?
	But there's no proof.
	It's just there's evidence of a thing.
	Investigate it, and then you prove if it's true or not.
	That's not going to happen.
	Whereas with the Democrats, they got away with all this, and there was no problems.
	They were not deleted off the internet for it.
	Anyway, so let's get on to the nukes.
	So the...
	Like, who was talking about nukes before Nancy Pelosi's insane mind goes, by the way, nukes?
	Pelosi?
	No one was talking about nukes.
	Just Nancy Pelosi came out of nowhere and demanded that the nuclear codes be given to, you know, either someone else or her.
	I can't really figure.
	So this is AP source.
	Pelosi tells Dems that top military official assured her that steps are in place to prevent Donald Trump nuclear launch.
	But what if China see this?
	Like, right, okay, so for the next two weeks, the United States is a non-nuclear power.
	Yeah.
	That's not good news, is it?
	I mean, galaxy brain, Pelosi.
	Like, I'm going to make sure that every one of our enemies know that our nuclear deterrent no longer exists.
	This is one of the major criticisms I had about Jeremy Corbyn.
	He'd already come out and said, I will never use the nuclear deterrent.
	Okay, then scrap it.
	What are you paying for?
	No, but then we can't vote for you, Jeremy, because that means any nuclear powers would say, well, we've got a huge advantage here.
	Yeah.
	Like, goddammit.
	Yeah.
	So, this obviously is a crazy thing to say.
	So, even Vox, there's a Vox worker here on the next one, is saying that this is nuts.
	She's an international political correspondent?
	Yeah, but Vox is a very partisan left outlet, so I'm just going to assume she's also partisan left, which is fine.
	She's allowed to be that.
	But even they can see through this.
	Nancy Pelosi using the US nuclear command and control system to pay politics as reckless, dangerous, and inappropriate.
	Yeah, no...
	S. Yeah, but adversaries need to know that there is zero confusion in the CNC system.
	The House Speaker does not have the authority to keep the nuclear codes from Trump.
	Exactly.
	She is vastly overstating her authority here because of her psychotic view on Trump himself.
	So the Washington Post did a good breakdown of this, where they spoke to lawyers or professors here to get some questions on whether or not she could do this.
	And I love the way they frame this.
	First one here.
	Is there anything she can do to prevent the presiding president from accessing the launch codes or ordering a nuclear strike?
	And the response was, the answer is emphatically no.
	Just no.
	Like, no conversation.
	Like, no, she can't do this.
	Well, there is one thing, but we'll get into that in a minute.
	So the next question was, what would happen if someone tries to enter the chain of command, for example, by countermanding or refusing to obey the president's order?
	Now, if a military man does this, he can say, that's an illegal order, sir, I won't do it, and he can leave.
	And that's a thing.
	But someone like Nancy Pelosi coming in, trying to fist her way into the command and say, I'm part of this now...
	The response was, So, that's what Nancy Pelosi is doing here.
	She's trying to get herself into the command order.
	She's trying to overthrow the office of the presidency.
	It's like, okay.
	The commander-in-chief.
	You know, the guy in charge of the nukes, that shouldn't be the president because politics.
	It's like, right, right, okay.
	So, if the Capitol Hill thing...
	That's not how it works, Nancy.
	If the Capitol Hill is a coup, what is this?
	Like, you're literally trying to overthrow his military power in this aspect.
	I mean, this is literally how it was described as well.
	Yeah.
	So there's one more thing I wanted to get from Politico who did a breakdown of this.
	So they got a statement from the Defense Department, and their statement was, it makes America look weak and weakness is provocative.
	I don't think what Pelosi is doing is very helpful.
	Well, he's completely right that weakness is a provocation, and this is something I've said for a long time.
	This is why I talk about you personally, make sure personally you have strength of mind at the very least.
	But yeah, so then the New York Times report on this was brilliant.
	I particularly enjoyed this.
	But just a quote from it.
	Some Defence Department officials clearly resented being asked to act outside of the legal authority of the 25th Amendment and saw it as more evidence of a broken political system.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	Mr.
	Trump, they noted, is still the Commander-in-Chief.
	Unless he is removed, the military is bound to follow his lawful orders.
	While military officials can refuse to carry out orders they view as illegal, they can't remove the President from the chambers of command.
	That would amount to a military coup, the official says.
	So it's like, right, Nancy Pelosi has actually called for a military coup in the United States against Donald Trump because she can't accept that he won.
	Like, she wrote to the House Dems that this was happening, and then she wrote to, I think it was Vice President Pence, to try and ask him about it as well.
	I was like, right, okay.
	And he didn't get back to it, did he?
	I don't believe he did.
	And she put out a statement whining about it on Twitter.
	He said no.
	It's like, yeah, no S, you know?
	On the plus side, Nancy, baked Alaska's on the other line.
	I just can't get over the gall of this.
	Like, the narrative in the media at the moment is like, this is the worst thing since 9-11, this has to be dealt with.
	Meanwhile, you know, unironic coup going on, at least attempted.
	Attempted coup by Nancy Pelosi.
	And just, no, no, don't talk about this.
	Like, good on the New York Times for actually writing something about this.
	Yeah.
	So this is, people have tried to interpret this as her, you know, maybe she's not serious, in which case you should be messing with this.
	Yeah, why is she doing any of this if she's not serious?
	This is a big lark, isn't it?
	Not really, Nancy.
	The defence I've heard is basically she's LARPing, and she's LARPing for the purpose of trying to get the impeachment.
	So she's pushing for impeaching Trump, obviously, because they always are.
	Well, they've already done it, or tried, anyway.
	And this one is, she wrote in to her friend saying, if President Trump doesn't immediately resign, I have instructed the Rules Committee to be prepared to move forward with the 25th Amendment legislation and a motion for impeachment.
	So she's going for impeachment.
	But this requires Pence's assent, as I understand it.
	The 25th Amendment.
	As I understand, it's the Vice President's ability to do it.
	The 25th, I think yes.
	So that's the Vice President saying, I don't think the President can be a reasonable person.
	And then the other option she's got is to go through the House, get a vote on it there, and then take it to the Senate, and the Senate impeaches or not.
	That's just my understanding.
	And the, you know, seemingly Pence is actually not that stupid.
	And he's like, no, we're not doing this.
	So she's already started doing the votes in the House.
	But I wanted to play a clip, if we've got it, of Nancy.
	Just her mental state.
	She gave this interview, I think it was yesterday or the day before, about her position on Trump.
	And it's telling.
	She looks insane.
	Just by this screenshot there, the first frame, she looks mental.
	Her words are worse.
	So let's get to that.
	Madam Speaker, who is running the government of the United States?
	We have a pandemic.
	We just had this horrendous act of violence up here.
	We had a Russian hack of our institutions.
	Is anybody running the executive branch?
	Of the government.
	Who is running the executive branch?
	Well, sadly, the person who's running the executive branch is a deranged, unhinged, dangerous president of the United States.
	And only a number of days until we can be protected from him.
	But he has done something so serious that there should be prosecution against him.
	Well, I gather that the 25th Amendment is off the table.
	That isn't.
	Nothing is off the table.
	There'll be a few days until we're protected from him.
	And he's done something so serious it deserves impeachment or whatever she said.
	At the same day that she's trying to access the nuclear codes.
	And she's trying to orchestrate a coup against the president.
	And the thing is, I mean, project much Nancy?
	He's deranged and dangerous to all of us.
	She says with wide eyes.
	Yeah, exactly.
	You look like you fit that bill, but on the plus side, your hair looks fantastic, Nancy.
	So all of that time breaking lockdown, that was really well spent.
	So the Republicans are begging the Democrats not to do this.
	I mean, even just on the lines of, this is not good for the country, which obviously isn't.
	So you wrote some notes about this.
	I didn't get time to read.
	Yeah, so basically a group of seven Republicans said, "A second impeachment only days before President Trump will leave office is as unnecessary as it is inflammatory.
	The impeachment would undermine your priority of unifying Americans and would be a further distraction to our nation at a time when millions of fellow citizens are hurting because of the pandemic and the economic fallout." Mitch McConnell had sent a memo around saying that "The upper chamber won't start impeachment trial until Biden is present unless 100 senators agree to a hearing." And this was a clip of Lindsey Graham.
	Now, Lindsey Graham got attacked, well, accosted, Not attacked physically.
	I think he was walking to a plane and people came who were Trump supporters around him and started shouting at him.
	Yeah, yelling that he was a traitor and they were furious at him because that's how they see things.
	Which you shouldn't do.
	He's in public.
	Yeah, of course not.
	We've always said, don't harass people.
	End of story.
	But at the end of the day, if this is just happening to these people, this is happening and we don't have any control over it.
	But not as bad as Ted Wheeler who got physically assaulted by anti-firing Portland when he was out.
	They say punch a Nazi.
	And Ted Wheeler apparently fits that bill.
	According to Antifa.
	According to Antifa.
	But yeah, so Lindsey Graham, this was recent after he'd just been attacked, not long afterwards, where he went on Fox News.
	And you can see the redness of his eyes.
	He says that he's been speaking to Trump.
	And this was, if we can play the clip.
	I'm calling on President-elect Biden to pick up the phone and call Nancy Pelosi and the squad to end the second impeachment.
	President Trump gave a statement last night that was helpful.
	It hit the mark.
	He wants to move on to a peaceful transfer of power.
	He wants this to end.
	I've been with him most of the day.
	He's going to focus on his agenda, his successes for the American people in the next few days.
	But Joe Biden said, it's up to Congress regarding impeachment.
	No, President-elect Biden, it's up to you.
	Pick up the phone, call Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and the squad and tell them, stand down.
	This will destroy the country even further.
	You can see the tone of voice.
	He, to me, sounds like someone who's just keeping it together.
	The whole, it's a much longer, it's a longer interview.
	And he's got red eyes.
	He looks like he's been crying.
	And he sounds terrified about the future of the Republic.
	And like his prediction, you know, you want power, I hope you never get it.
	Well, he's seeing what they're getting firsthand.
	Like, a couple of days into an acceptance that, okay, Joe Biden's going to be president.
	And Silicon Valley's banning everyone out, right?
	Just no holds barred.
	Absolute social terrorism from the left.
	But apparently, as the Dem coalition, again, another verified checkmark, They've got 213 House members to vote yes for impeachment.
	They need five more.
	This is a vulgar display of power that I think is a very bad idea, and very much with Lindsey Graham.
	And then you get the abject hypocrisy from the leftists.
	You've got something called the Gravel Institute, which is just a YouTube channel, basically.
	So this was meant to be a leftist alternative to PragerU, is my understanding?
	Yeah.
	And they tweeted this and then deleted it.
	But it's how mask-off this has gone, because they just don't care anymore.
	They're at war.
	But if leftists had stormed the Capitol, you'd support it.
	Yes.
	They are fighting for good.
	Fascists are fighting for bad.
	This should not be difficult.
	How pathetic.
	It's unreal.
	This is the unironic mindset of these people.
	Yeah.
	And it's why they're able to just ban everyone, don't care.
	It's okay when we do it.
	Yep.
	Absolutely nothing.
	And there's also something I wanted to show, which is, I think this is Hulu.
	They've already started producing an episode on the 24-hour assault on the Capitol.
	So if you could scroll down just to show some of the images.
	Like, the music's very foreboding.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But it's just utter propaganda, where it's like, this is the biggest thing ever.
	And it's like, okay.
	Yeah.
	And it's the media now is going to make money out of the further inflammation of tensions and divisions that will lead to a civil war in the United States.
	They don't care how much they big this up, even if it's false.
	It's totally irresponsible to do this.
	They should be trying to calm people down.
	Like we are saying, do not go out and riot.
	Don't go and do anything dangerous.
	Don't do anything stupid.
	Now is the time for cooler heads to prevail if you want to preserve the republic.
	But it seems that all of the cooler heads have fled the Democrats, and this crazy will has taken control of them.
	Not to mention it seems like they're losing.
	It seems like they're losing.
	But anyway, so people think civil war is coming.
	This was a poll that was done before the protest at the Capitol.
	It was done on the 4th.
	And even then, 71% of Trump supporters think civil war is coming, and 40% of Biden supporters, if such a thing even exists, think that civil war is also coming.
	Digital polls, I'm sure.
	Yeah, but this was done before January 6th.
	So that's kind of concerning, is it not?
	When you've got a huge percentage, again, roughly half the country thinks that civil war is coming, and the Democrats are acting like this and saying things like this, And deplatforming and outright targeting, persecuting Trump supporters, I think it's on.
	I hate to say it, I think that the die is cast, and that the civil war is probably inevitable.
	It doesn't have to happen like tomorrow, but these things happen over a period of years normally, and I think the die is cast.
	I think this is coming.
	You were saying the point that it doesn't jump to that place, but you were saying the intermediate will be a civic war, in which anti-false supporters will just openly fight anyone who's MAGA, MAGA will just fight anyone who's openly.
	Silicon Valley, all of the corporations will go out of the way to hurt the MAGA people.
	Ruin them as much as possible.
	This is already happening.
	This is already happening.
	There will be violence in the streets between the sort of Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and MAGA, where they'll just be targeted.
	They'll see someone, and they'll be hopped up from their Twitter feeds, and they'll be like, you are the problem, and...
	Yeah, I mean, we saw this over the weekend.
	I think it was in California.
	I was thinking it was like four MAGA people had turned up somewhere, and like 20 Antifa turned up and just started harassing them, throwing things at them.
	Beating them to the ground.
	We don't want it to happen, obviously, but it is happening.
	Yeah, this is awful, but if the Democrats continue to escalate and incite, then this is what you're going to get.
	Don't escalate and incite.
	The only other thing I wanted to mention real quick was just the fact that you saw that propaganda earlier.
	This is the big day.
	This is the thing that changed America.
	Well, I just wanted to point out how sort of not nothing-burger this is, but how in relative importance it is.
	So I found this post on Twitter, someone saying about, in 1983, Suzanne Rosenberg planted a bomb outside the U.S. chamber to assassinate Republican senators.
	House Judiciary Committee Ralph Nader got President Clinton to pardon Suzanne Rosenberg.
	Now she's a board member of Black Lives Matter Network, Inc.
	And you can see a picture there of the Capitol being bombed.
	Unreal.
	Okay, so a communist group, unironic communists, you can look this up yourself, unironic, far-left communist group, bombed the Capitol, and this storming in which some papers have been rustled, a couple of people have died.
	Bill Clinton ponds her, and now she's at the head of one of these Black Lives Matter organizations that's receiving millions of dollars.
	Yeah, so if we can go to the next one, this is real.
	I didn't believe the guy when I saw this post, but if you can scroll down, I'll get rid of that.
	Oh, no, don't worry.
	Okay, well, anyway, it's an archive of the news reporting from 1990, and it says, Ms.
	Rosenberg and Mr.
	Blunk are serving 58-year sentences for possessing more than 600 pounds of explosives.
	I was like, okay, like, that's proper terrorism?
	Yeah, it's full-on ISIS-style terrorism.
	Yeah.
	So this person was not kidding around.
	And then I looked up the other part of it, which is that she's meant to be running Black Lives Matter's finances, and it seems to be true.
	So if you can go to the next one, this is thousandcurrents.org, Black Lives Matter.
	So this is the organization she's supposedly working for.
	And you can see there, from 2016 to 2020, Thousand Currents served as a financial sponsor for Black Lives Matter Global Network Project.
	In 2019, Thousand Currents made strategic decisions to sunset fiscal sponsorships in order to focus on its core grant-making grassroots groups and movements in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
	So they're taking the money and then using it to astroturf movements in other continents.
	Promote communist insurrections in other continents.
	Yeah, but also to give the image that, oh, this is a global moment.
	So you've heard this endlessly.
	It's just astro-tough.
	It's nonsense.
	So this terrorist, this communist terrorist, who blew up the Senate in the 80s, was pardoned by Clinton and is now in charge of a Black Lives Matter foundation.
	Yeah, so I looked up the tax returns just to fact check and make sure that we're sure.
	And yeah, she's on the tax returns.
	You can go look this up yourself.
	2019, Vice Chair of the Board of Directors, Susan Rosenberg.
	And they took $6.6 million in revenue for that year, $1.1 million in 2016.
	For 2020, God knows how much.
	Probably billions.
	Probably tens of millions at least.
	This is real.
	Someone tried, you know, an unironic communist...
	Blew up the Capitol, planted a bomb, or at least was in the group that did it.
	I don't know her specific role, but she was caught with explosives afterwards.
	She was charged for it.
	Charged.
	She went to jail.
	The then-President Clinton commuted her sentence on time served, because, I don't know, she'd been a good gal, and now she's out, and she's literally working at the top of one of these Black Lives Matter financial organizations that manages their finances.
	It's like...
	It's unreal.
	Okay.
	So just to put that in context with the Capitol building.
	Yeah.
	Like, yeah, it was stormed.
	It's bad.
	A couple of people have died.
	Bad.
	You know, things broken.
	Bad.
	They didn't bomb the building and then get away with it and then get endorsed by the president.
	Someone sniffed AOC's shoes.
	Bad.
	Yeah.
	The president has denounced this.
	He said on the day giving the speech to them, be peaceful.
	They then went out there and were not peaceful.
	He then gave a statement on Twitter saying, don't do that, go home.
	He then made a video saying, go home, don't be here.
	That's what gets you banned for life.
	That's getting ostracized from politics.
	We need to kick you out of the body politic.
	But an actual terrorist gets welcomed into the fold.
	Active measures are taken to pardon them for what they've done, you know, the bombing of the Senate, pardon them for what they've done, and then bring them in to be an organizer for Black Lives Matter.
	Like, do you think the people, like, let's say if we find the guy who caused the death of that cop, do you think he's ever going to be any, you know, right-wing movement at the top there again?
	No.
	He will be ostracized for life, rightfully.
	Yeah, exactly, rightfully, and it would be an insane thing to propose.
	But the left don't care.
	They just don't care.
	Because this is just all-out war for them.
	Like we were saying before we started, the way they see things now is not the Republicans and the Democrats are two groups who have to live in this country.
	They don't get a choice.
	They're both going to live here.
	So you've got to find a way to work together.
	And instead, no, it's not that.
	For the Republicans, they're waking up to what the Democrats are thinking is, no, we're a group, we're at war with you, and we're going to destroy you.
	You must be destroyed by any means necessary.
	Let's go through as many of the super chats as we can get through.
	Sorry, guys.
	So yeah, there was a lot of information to lay out there.
	But more can be found at lotuses.com, so do go over and check that out.
	Just loan up some chats.
	We'll see a couple here.
	Like we said, we're bound to not get through all of these, so we'll try and make sure that anyone who's given us a large donation definitely gets heard.
	I can see three here, so I'll do them now, just real quick, the large ones.
	So, Frank Carr, we must teach Silicon Valley to respect freedom in the only language it understands, money.
	Let's start a chain letter.
	Text your freedom-loving friends to do the same.
	Deactivate your Twitter and Facebook accounts.
	Arnold's Talks.
	Cringiest mobile strike ever, ever.
	So for 100 American dollars.
	Yeah, the good thing about a place like Gab, and I don't know about Mines, but obviously follow us all on Gab and Mines and things like this.
	And when Parler comes back up, Parler is getting off of the infrastructure of Silicon Valley.
	We are obviously still connected to it, so we're going to do a deplatforming at some point.
	I actually tried on the weekend to get off Twitter.
	I was like, you know, at any good time as any.
	Go on to Parler and then the news came out.
	They would do platforming Parler.
	I was like, great.
	Unreal.
	So there's another one here.
	Pedro Aguilar.
	Sorry, Spanish.
	Hello, Carl.
	Don't be impressed by the three digits.
	This is only like £13.
	Although I can make it up to you because...
	Sorry.
	Am I reading right?
	I can make it up to you.
	Ah, there we go.
	I'll make it up to you if you come over to Brazil before we two, because a communist regime.
	I'll take you to Chursos Sarkia, the place where they bring different roasted meats to your table.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Well, yeah, the Brazilian restaurant in Swindon that we all enjoy frequenting is unfortunately closed because of the lockdowns.
	So, Brazilian food, great.
	Yeah, it is amazing.
	There's another one here.
	Right, okay, hang on a sec.
	So, Epic statement on Parler.
	Who are Epic, exactly?
	On behalf of the domain registrar Epic, this is an official statement.
	We've had no contact or discussion with Parler.
	Any form regarding our organization becoming their registrar or hosting provider, from my understanding.
	Right, so, what...
	Yeah, but what are they saying?
	Yeah, what are they saying, yeah.
	I'm not going to read the whole thing on stream.
	Yeah, yeah.
	We'll cover it tomorrow.
	Don't worry about it.
	We'll do it tomorrow.
	Ryan Lawrence.
	Apply to unarmed religious...
	Can I read this?
	Okay.
	Apply to unnamed religions of peace and tribes of woke.
	When I am weak, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles.
	When I am strong, I take away your freedoms because that is according to my principles.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, where did we leave off?
	Oh, God.
	We've got to read the one now.
	Adam, if I was in Congress, I would jump the shark and start calling...
	No.
	Not saying that.
	We're really sorry, guys.
	We are as dependent on these platforms as anyone else, unfortunately.
	But we are, of course, making moves to become independent of these things.
	But anyway, every election will be the most secure in history.
	How do you aggregate or consume your news?
	Do you get a different size or get it all in one place?
	How do you determine what articles aren't worthy of your time?
	Any tips would be appreciated.
	It's not easy.
	I personally, one of the things I do is use social media, but essentially join each echo chamber.
	And so I'm in the Republican echo chamber, the Democrat echo chamber, and then the centrist echo chambers.
	And the centrist echo chambers are just swinging completely to the left.
	They're joining the Democrat echo chambers.
	Presumably out of fear, frankly, and a lack of enthusiasm to investigate the other side of the issue.
	But you've just got to make sure that you're in all of these echo chambers, and then you'll see the facts that they are talking about, because each group has its own facts.
	Again, the term alternative facts is very true.
	Each group has its own facts and doesn't have the other facts.
	Anyway, Lucas says, greetings from Washington State.
	Great show.
	I appreciate your perspectives on all the things.
	Thank you very much.
	Right, okay.
	The engaged few talking about you here, but sorry, I don't want to go off topic, but I agree with you.
	It's interesting.
	I asked a question they didn't.
	Did you prove...
	Oh, that's another off topic thing.
	Gab is good for a pile of workaround.
	Yes, it is.
	Chrome Android, you can click three dots to install app.
	Signal is amazing for WhatsApp alternative, fully open source.
	Yeah, but you're probably enriching Jack Dorsey in some way by using Signal, just so you know.
	Yeah, like he's going to win no matter what happens.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So here's a love heart smirk.
	You know, I am Jack smirk is all I can say.
	It all went downhill after they shot Harambe.
	That's true.
	IwantedOrin says drop Amazon if you have an account.
	Time to dump it.
	Plenty of other great websites that don't commit racketeering and censorship.
	Yes.
	Eloy Toro says, Centralized social media is over.
	Bring attention to decentralized apps such as Mastodon and Manyverse with a section in the podcast or an article.
	I don't know anything about them, to be honest.
	Leonard Church, if civil war breaks out, can we claim Soviet interference?
	Yuri was right.
	Marcus Home, unpopular opinion.
	We owe a lot of respect to YouTube on the censorship issue.
	For once, they seem to be the only ones who refuse to act in lockstep with this unethical madness.
	Yeah, I've got to say, as platforms go, YouTube has been the most reliable Silicon Valley one.
	Joe...
	Joe's YouTube says, Hi Carl, great show as always.
	Have you heard the whispers of the Insurrection Act being signed?
	I'm cooking up popcorn just in case it's true.
	I've seen no evidence.
	I've seen no evidence, yeah.
	We only cover things that we're pretty sure of.
	Kaithness Barbarium, will you be backing up your channels, Carl?
	All I wanted was ethics and game journalism.
	Yeah, they're all on BitChute, Library, you know, things like that.
	So, you know, my channels are backed up.
	But again, I think the great purge is coming.
	I think we're all going to be waxed from Silicon Valley at some point this year.
	I'm sure you saw the Vox article where they were blaming all this on Gamergate.
	I'm loving the memes coming out of it.
	Everyone's tagging Anita Sarkeesian and Brianna.
	You did this!
	All I wanted to do was play games!
	Why did you end the Republic, Brianna?
	Paolo says, finally early enough to watch live.
	Do you think it's time to start building parallel societies away from the leftists?
	Love the East Panhandle of WV. Well, they're going to force you to do that.
	Digitally, you're going to have to now.
	You're not going to be allowed to live in their society.
	They think they can bring about a better society through content moderation, which means censorship.
	And censorship only brings about violence and destruction.
	It's like we're going to murder everyone to bring about utopia.
	Yeah, well, it's a typical communist view of the world, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	Jay Abrams donated.
	Thank you very much.
	Cake Skull, emboldened by their perceived power to suspend rights and freedoms, the artificial victories.
	The far left continue to lift the pendulum higher and higher.
	I dread the inevitable backswing.
	Yeah, well, the way I think it's worth looking at this is that actually they've grabbed the pendulum and they're holding it still and the pressure is building up and the tension to make the pendulum keep going is going to keep going and basically eventually the pressure will be greater than they can hold on to and the thing will break and then all hell will break loose.
	Do you want to read?
	Yeah, Bianca says, The purging has begun with a resistance.
	Also, I'd like to show my shop on Etsy.
	It's BuddhaGangUK, all written in one.
	I sculpt decorations, thanks.
	Well, maybe we can get a decoration.
	I'm looking up.
	Yeah.
	So I'd like a decoration.
	That's the thing, because the office is so new.
	We've got loads of empty shelves.
	So if anyone wants to make us anything, do email us at contactatlotuses.com and we'll see about getting that to us.
	Alexander Cross says, it'd be hilarious if they missed one and Trump just knocked out an app no one cares about because it's the only place he can post.
	Well, yeah, it looks like Gab is going to be the one.
	Because apparently Torba had a call with Trump.
	He implied.
	So, you know, see where this goes.
	A happy line says, the more people need to stop looking at the shadows from the legacy media and get out of Plato's cave.
	Yes, that's exactly what's going on.
	That's exactly it.
	President-elect Joe Biden says, but my private platform?
	Yeah, it's weird that that's the thing the communists are yelling about now.
	Again, when it's your principles, then they'll use them, but then when they're in charge, it's their principles and you're screwed.
	Some oil guy, hey guys, I know there are big things going on, but I've sent you a couple of emails about doing merch.
	Let's do some capitalism.
	Okay, I'll get the team on that.
	If silence is violence, online expulsion is violence by proxy and more morally degenerate than incitement as it's exclusive by nature.
	Yeah, exactly.
	If silencing people is violence, then these people are as violent as they could claim anyone else is.
	Alexander Cross.
	I'm not going to read that, I'm afraid, but I agree with the sentiment.
	Sketch.
	Good morning from New York City.
	First time catching the podcast live.
	Last week took a toll on me, so thanks for doing what you do.
	Well, thanks for watching, man, because honestly, it's taking a toll on me, too.
	I've had an incredibly stressful week last week.
	Yeah.
	You don't even get the weekend off.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I don't get the weekend off because this stuff keeps happening.
	And we are as vulnerable to this as anyone.
	You know, we've tried to, we've done our best.
	But if it's going to the stage where literally, you know, website providers are like, no, we're all complicit, then everyone's in some serious trouble.
	Because you remember when it was just for Alex Jones or just for unironic members of the far right?
	It's like, no, no, no, it's just any conservative.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	No, now it's the president.
	Like, my God.
	Go for it.
	Hearing all this, especially the left's advocacy for more censoring, reminds me of the poem Not My Business by Nii Unsuda.
	That's a foreign name.
	I can't pronounce it.
	Fistfight Caleb.
	I've been watching a while now.
	Love to see the mild-mannered British arguing for the rights of radical conservatives.
	Gives me the warm fuzzies.
	Well, that's interesting, because one of the reasons we need to end this, because I really want to go and record a premium, one of the book club things.
	I was going to do Marcus Aurelius' Meditations next, but it seems to be more pertinent to do Locke's Second Treatise on Government, because there seems to be a lot in there that's worth reading right now for the radical conservatives.
	Also, they have rights.
	They have rights, and they should have rights.
	So that should be up this week.
	Shane B. Peaceful protests are now the voice of the unheard.
	Now get against the wall.
	You've been found guilty of having an illegal opinion.
	TF Allspark.
	Norwegian money for our British heroes.
	I don't know.
	I feel like it's reparations for the war, like us taking the king in.
	I am deeply enraged by Silicon Valley's blatant authoritarian behavior.
	They can all burn in Minecraft.
	Yep, they absolutely can burn in Minecraft.
	Yeah, I'm going to find Jack Dorsey's Minecraft server.
	Log in and destroy his house.
	Easy E. Imagine how much Jack is sweating.
	Now the network he made just committed suicide because some SJW employees just couldn't help themselves.
	Yeah, I've seen the stock start to tank.
	I'm hoping it crashes into the ground.
	It was down like 15% or something.
	Not enough.
	Not enough.
	Yeah, no, it's not enough, but it's interesting, isn't it?
	Con-trust-something.
	To all the black-pilled folk, don't do anything stupid.
	Think strategically instead of throwing your life away.
	There are many, many normies sympathetic to your side than you think.
	Obviously, no violence, no insurrection, no nothing, just...
	Doesn't solve anything.
	Yeah, it doesn't solve anything, and any action you take as an executive action on your own will just do damage to the side you're trying to support.
	Don't do it.
	Like, do you think the Black Lives Matter riots helped Black Lives Matter?
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, enrich their activists, so, you know, but we don't want any of that.
	Galactia Watkins.
	Hey guys, as citizens, what can we actually do?
	Is it finally beams and ammo time or is there still long-term hope?
	Things are truly getting insane.
	They certainly are getting insane.
	As citizens...
	I don't even know.
	I guess just keep supporting the guys who are trying to fight this.
	Because I don't know what else I can do.
	If it falls into beans and ammo time, then that's another conversation.
	Just make sure you're well stocked.
	That's what you should do.
	Make sure that your local provision is accounted for.
	Xerax.
	Is big tech be willing?
	Wrong thinkers like they do on Demolition Man?
	Be willing.
	Be willing, sorry.
	Seeing how crypto is growing, can we have our cyberpunk future in the vein of Justin Timberlake's movie In Time Yet?
	I haven't seen that, I'm afraid.
	I haven't seen that one either.
	But, um, yes.
	The mostly peaceful F word?
	Internet will be bland without conspiracy theories?
	Yeah, it already is.
	That's one of the great things about BitChute, to be honest.
	I can go there to get the crazy conspiracy theories.
	Because it's a laugh.
	Yeah.
	David Shinner.
	Hi guys, can't help feeling blackpilled adjacent after the yeeting of parlor.
	Do you know how Arch is doing in regards to getting his channel back?
	I don't know.
	Anyway, have some shill bucks for more East India Company tea.
	Peace.
	Yeah, no, I don't know how Arch is doing in regards to getting his channel back, and the yeeting of parlor is not a good thing.
	Yeah, I'm pretty blackpilled about that too.
	I hope they can get back online.
	If YouTube goes as far as just Facebook and Twitter, then I don't know.
	Finishing Mitch.
	Thank God it was...
	Sorry.
	No, I don't think we can make jokes about that.
	No.
	A person of the year, Svatnick, donated.
	Thank you very much.
	Falkhorn Falk.
	It is highly ironic that companies that pleaded support in upholding net neutrality are now more than fine with partisan usage of the infrastructure.
	That's a great point.
	God, where's the net neutrality now, huh?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Disappeared.
	Unreal, unreal.
	Joseph Stelen.
	Destroy DT and his voters because peace and unity.
	Yeah, unity in your abolition.
	Pirate skeleton, if the leftists are thinking this mass corporate censorship is great, just wait until they're on the wrong side of the boot.
	Yeah, I mean, let's just say Republicans get back in next election or whatever, right?
	Why should they hold up?
	Why should they not just declare war on the Democrats like they have now?
	What's your defense?
	You haven't got one.
	A.I. Shia Tori.
	A reminder, the Dems Cathedral crossed the Rubicon last year by normalizing political violence with BLM. Yes, they did.
	We may need to move to the dark web.
	I don't know anything about the dark web.
	I don't know anything about the dark web either, but I think that just being able to host our own servers will probably be enough.
	Yeah, the good thing is the left and the right have been separating on the internet, and it's accelerated that process.
	Now it's like, right, okay, fine.
	If the right wants to exist, then what they need to do is start raising money in order to build the infrastructure the left already has taken control of.
	In the same way they did with, I don't know, like cable TV, like Fox News.
	Yenilis J. Mulak.
	How many Super Chats do you need to create your own servers to host Parlo on?
	God knows, man.
	A lot, probably.
	I can't imagine it's cheap.
	You know we'll do it for free speech.
	I don't know.
	Radio TV. Changing servers will only slow censorship.
	Not if you own them.
	Most servers are owned by Amazon, Google or Microsoft.
	That's true.
	The only way out is probably blockchain.
	It's not foolproof.
	Well, they just have to buy their own servers or a writer will have to set up a company that's explicitly for the right-wing echo chamber.
	Like Epic, in fact, for the websites.
	Dante, at the moment, this is information-based.
	It won't stay this way.
	They need to see it as their utopia.
	I don't know what that means.
	I think that he's suggesting that currently they view the internet as essentially reality, a layer of reality.
	And if they can control that, then that's reality set.
	But the thing is, it's not.
	It's a pseudo-reality that underneath it, you'll have all of these people who are being suppressed who will presumably come out.
	You now have no idea what they think because they're on your platform.
	And you don't know what they're doing.
	I didn't see Extinction Rebellion coming because I'd never heard of them.
	So I was in none of their echo chambers, so I couldn't see the pressure building in their echo chambers before it burst out into the streets.
	And the same thing will happen.
	Angel Dimitrov.
	Hi, I've been watching since 2015.
	First time donating.
	Question.
	If the Dems get away with fairly winning in Georgia and the presidency, what stops them from 2020 and 2024?
	And if they do it then, what's the solution?
	Well, so far all I can think of is in the states themselves, you know, the state legislatures, they need to get things like those voting machines into the sea and go back to pottery shards is what you're probably going to say.
	Yes, and the ultimate alternative will be talked about in the book club.
	Yeah.
	I can't make the joke.
	I won't.
	Just a random guy.
	Do you think Texas will leave the union?
	No.
	Also been planning to move to Texas in the last three years.
	Please, Texas, you're the last true free U.S. state.
	My understanding is there are a few more, like Ben Shapiro moving to Kentucky and whatnot, but they're certainly dwindling.
	Nope, nope, man.
	We need to coordinate, get off big tech platforms and move to alt tech.
	We need constructive discussion without censorship.
	This is my last Super Chat on YouTube, but I will upgrade my Lotus Eater subscription.
	Thank you very much.
	Yes.
	If you want to send us, we'll have it fixed soon so you can Super Chat through the website instead of having to use YouTube, which we're not happy about having to use the meter, but it will be done soon.
	Woot40.
	Prequel to Cyber...
	Cyberbunker?
	Cloudflare.
	All three have hosted a certain world-famous pirate site.
	They would no doubt host Parler if their infrastructure permits.
	Isn't that weird?
	Like, all the hippies and the right-wingers are getting together.
	JP. Sav3 is a decentralized peer-to-peer social media platform.
	Beta test version is live at testnet.sav3.org.
	Uncensorable by design.
	I'm going to disavow because I don't know what's on the site, but you can go look at it yourselves.
	You're free people.
	Jester Black.
	There's a subreddit dedicated to tracking Parler.
	Seems they're doxing people and hacking and downloading user information.
	Pretty sickening.
	Yeah, that was another thing.
	Like, a load of metadata has been released from Parler, leaked to the internet somehow.
	And, yeah, leftists are going to use it to try and track down and persecute MAGA supporters.
	Mr.
	Tucker.
	Breaking.
	Billionaire tech CEO applauds other billionaire tech CEO for taking out their smaller direct competition in a stunning and brave act of moral fortitude.
	Moral 11.
	Exactly.
	That is exactly...
	The cartel has to be stopped.
	Narco-Republican.
	It saddens me that lulbertarians will be proven right.
	Build your own is the only way.
	Cyberpunk ho.
	Yeah, technically, this is kind of a win for the libertarians.
	It's like, yeah, you do have to build your own.
	They've been saying that.
	They have, yeah.
	But no one's been interpreting them correctly, which is you will have to build everything your own.
	You've got to build your own roads.
	You've got to build everything.
	Where was I? Xerox.
	GD... Or is that meant to be GB? GB. GD conservatives should have been following their GD stated principles instead of doing the opposite.
	That's on us switching to Ds for protection.
	There are definitely going to be a bunch of these sort of rhino Republicans who will cling to the Democrats for as long as the Democrats seem powerful.
	Don't forget who these people are.
	Edward of Woodstock.
	For the Green New Deal, they can form a new green energy source by attaching a generator to Teddy Roosevelt's spinning grave.
	Fencing Mitch.
	Anti-black pills.
	Remember, Kamala is the biggest supporter of BLM. Never seen a prosecutor so committed to ensuring they all got liked.
	Yeah, I know.
	She really should have been hired by Trump.
	Law and order candidate.
	I told you before we started, there's a funny tweet about the fact that if Joe croaks, then at least we've got a good law and order president.
	Well, yeah.
	Radio TV, I literally just left WhatsApp for signal.
	Is there nowhere else left to hide?
	Not yet.
	Relly Kegs says, Republican, 2 plus 2 equals 4.
	Democrat, no, 2 plus 2 equals 6.
	Sargon, democracy is about compromise.
	2 plus 2 equals 5.
	Three years passed.
	Democrats, 2 plus 2 equals 7.
	Is there any wonder why everything shifts more left?
	Well, yes, that's kind of true.
	And it's because the Democrats are making radical claims that can't really be compromised on.
	There does have to be a limit to the idea of compromise.
	You're not going to compromise with someone who demands your own abolition.
	Right.
	Frank Carr, 2021 equals 1984.
	We let Russia use the United States-based nets so they wouldn't build their own.
	And for...
	Signal, spelled wrong.
	Moving us off their platforms is dumb.
	I mean, I guess so.
	A lot of people have been bigging up Telegram as the alternative to Signal because Jack Dorsey doesn't own it.
	But it is based in Moscow, so it's a bit sus as well.
	But I don't know, man.
	They're trying to move away from Putin, I'm being told, which is a thing.
	Right, okay.
	You want to read?
	Yeah, AJ, the unexceptional biker, our boy is looking thin, huh?
	A positive note among all of this.
	Thank you very much.
	I've been working very hard.
	Andrew Knapp, he can't pardon himself if he didn't commit a crime.
	That's true.
	I've heard rumours that Trump might be thinking about pardoning the Capitol protesters too, which he should, because screw the Dems.
	If you're a war, you're a war.
	Yeah, yeah.
	The right has to take care of their own now, because the Democrats are going to do as much damage as they can.
	Easy.
	Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat stocks are all down and projecting further decreases.
	Investors getting ready for a bipartisan neutering of this political attack dog.
	Let's hope so.
	Drenov, what do you suggest that Trump does?
	That's a good question.
	Join Gab.
	I mean, like, the best thing he can do is prop up the alternatives.
	Join Gab, join Mines, join any, you know, Rumble, Parler, not Parler, but, you know, the rest of them.
	Frank R. Honestly, this SJW takeover feels like having Scientology take over our government.
	Honestly, I'd rather David Miscavige than Biden.
	Yeah, this is exactly what that is.
	That's exactly what it is.
	A radical left communist racist cult is taking over the US government.
	government.
	That's a fair description of what's happening.
	Uh, Bastier says, Glenn Greenwald, no rioters were arrested on parlor.
	Uh, good, I guess.
	Uh, white bro engineered, uh, here's five bucks for the best ice cream rant.
	I'm history.
	Thank you.
	If we can go down a little bit because we missed Pedro's there.
	No, we did that one.
	Oh, did we?
	Right, okay.
	Marks Byrne, the technocrats or technograks are running the Rwandan radio stations of the genocide.
	Yeah, they will.
	Yeah.
	Alexander...
	Yeah, exactly.
	The cathedral descends, the madness continues, and the war will begin in earnest.
	The dictators will shake the foundation of the US until they crumble.
	They will.
	And that's what's happening now.
	Pelosi and the Democrats and the radical left are destroying the American Republic.
	It's out in the open.
	It's naked.
	They do not see you as fellow citizens, fellow Americans.
	Danix says, this is scarily following the eight steps of genocide.
	We are currently between step three and step four, discrimination and dehumanization.
	Yeah, that's why I read out Arthur Chew's insane manifesto.
	Discrimination.
	I mean, I've also already seen companies banning Republicans from having their passes and whatnot.
	The funniest one was Sean Hannity.
	He's had his lifetime pass been revoked by...
	Olive Gunn.
	Like a restaurant.
	Why?
	What did Sean Hannity do?
	Yeah, exactly.
	He supports Donald Trump.
	That's it.
	That's it.
	And that's enough.
	So the discrimination's already there.
	I mean, I saw some Trump protests get kicked off a plane.
	I don't know the circumstances, but it's happening.
	Right, I think we are going to have to go, I'm afraid, because we do have a meeting at three and we've got to prepare for that, unfortunately.
	So we will be back tomorrow with doubtless more coverage of what's been going on because, I mean, what else are we going to talk about?
	The fall of the Republic.
	I saw when they were storming the Capitol, Guido put out a vote on coronavirus in the UK. I was like, mate, there's bigger things.
	There's bigger things.
	Yeah, I mean, don't go wrong.
	I'm sure that seemed important.
	But anyway, thank you everyone for watching, and we'll be back at 1pm UK time, and until then, if you'd like to check out more content from us, and there will be a lot of coverage going up today from our writers, you can go to lowtocees.com, and if you'd like to support us, you can become a premium member and get access to all the premium content, including the book review that I'll be putting up this week that you will definitely want to watch.
	I've got to disavow myself, apparently the pasta thing is a false flag.
	Right, okay, fake news on the pasta thing.
	But the rest of it, as far as we're aware, is true.
